Also known as a stoma bag which is used to collect waste from the body during procedure known as colostomy.
The opening is usually formed between the large intestine (colon) and the abdominal wall
Can be reused more than one time.
Diameter of up to 60mm.
It is ideal for home patient use, users are able to adjust the back leg and height adjustment for better comfort. Low in power consumption and only consume when the remote is on.
With three controls, the electrical hospital bed is able to perform the following base function.
Digital weight and height
It is a device that can measure the height and weight, It is very important to know the height and weight of a person.
Ideal weight for a person is 60Kg. Knowing a person’s weight will help them watch their diet if it is more than the recommended and also less than 40kg as an adult is not really recommended.
It is very important to know and monitor your BMI.
BMI is refereed to as Body Mass Index, it is useful to measure of overweight and obesity.
Mercurial blood pressure machine
A device used to measure blood pressure.
How it works;
After cuffing the patient pump using a bulb until the pressure is about 20mmHg above the expected systolic blood pressure.
The patient should be comfortable and relaxed the lower arm should be placed at the level of the heart with the inside of the arm facing upwards
Place the chest piece of the stethoscope on the artery under the cuff.
To be able to measure open the air release screw on the bulb by turning it counter clockwise, ideally the rate of air release should be 2-3mm, perform a visual check of the air release rate by looking at scale. Mercury display must move along the scale at a speed of 1-15 graduations per second.
Once the upper blood pressure value has been reached a rhythmic thumbing sound is heard
Systolic blood pressure value is the pressure measured when the heart contracts forcing blood into the blood vessels
When the diastolic pressure is reached the thumbing sounds stops
Diastolic is the pressure measured when the cardiac muscle is expanded and fills up with blood again.
Open the air release valve completely so that air can escape from the cuff immediately and the procedure has been completed.
